Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lubricant for use in paper coating. More particularly, it relates to a lubricant for use in paper coating compositions composed mainly of pigments and binders.
- lubricants for use in paper coating there have been used metal salts of higher fatty acids, higher fatty acid amides, wax emulsions, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol esters, liquid hydrocarbon oil emulsions, polyethylene dispersions and aliphatic sulfated oils.
- metal salts of higher fatty acids, higher fatty acid amides, wax emulsions, polyethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol esters, liquid hydrocarbon oil emulsions, polyethylene dispersions and aliphatic sulfated oils have a defect that, because of their poor releasing effect and antidusting effect during calendering of offset paper, gravure paper, etc., stains are produced on the surface of calender rolls.
- these lubricants have a defect that, because of their entire shortage of the anti-dusting effect during supercalendering, marked dusting is generated on the supercalenders to often force a person to stop calendering and clean the surface of calender rolls.
- Increasing the amount of lubricant added can decrease the generation of dusting to some degree but it causes a reduction in the friction coefficient of coated paper to impart to the paper too much slip which hinders rewinding of the coated paper, sheet feeding to a sheet-fed press, etc.
- these lubricants have a defect that they have little effect to improve the print gloss of coated paper.
- higher fatty acid esters such as higher fatty acid sucrose esters [Japanese patent Kokai No. 55,707/1977. ] and aqueous emulsions of dimers of higher fatty acids (ibid., No. 65,074/1981) can be used as antiblocking agents or antidusting agents. All of these higher fatty acid esters, however, are insufficient in any of the releasing effect, antidusting effect and print gloss improving effect like the foregoing lubricants, it being impossible to solve the defects of the conventional lubricants. Further, these higher fatty acid esters have a defect of increasing the missing dots rate in gravure printing.
- the present inventors extensively studied to develop a lubricant which is superior in the releasing effect and antidusting effect during calendering as compared with the conventional lubricants, and yet exhibits not only these effects but also the print gloss improving effect at lower dosage levels than in the conventional lubricants.

Further, such a great reduction in the dosage made it possible to eliminate various adverse effects which cannot be avoided when the conventional lubricants are used at high dosage levels for the purpose of antidusting. Such adverse effects include efficiency reduction of paper rewinding and sheet feeding to a sheet-fed press owing to too much slip of paper, reduction in printability such as ink receptivity and wet strength of coated paper, reduction in glueability and blister pack property of coated white board, etc.
- the lubricants of the present invention have an effect to improve the print gloss of coated paper which has never been obtained with the conventional lubricants.

- An emulsion or dispersion of butyl caprylate having a viscosity of 75 cps is lubricant M.

After adding 1000 g of ethylene glycol distearate previously heated to 120° C. to the solution with stirring, the mixed solution was emulsified at a high pressure of 300 kg/cm 2 and then immediately cooled to 25° C.
